One of the textbook marketing flops of all time was the Ford Edsel sedan, which was heralded as the hot new car in the late 1950s. All the automotive experts and Ford executives said it was a can’t-miss. Henry Ford (the car was named after his son) guaranteed hundreds of thousands of sales.

Nicaragua is Waging ‘Migrant Warfare’ Against the US – And Getting Rich in the Process
The American left clucked its collective tongue when Ron DeSantis sent illegal aliens to their Leftist sanctuary cities and states. DeSantis was forcing the Leftists to acknowledge the cost burden their policies impose on border states. DeSantis was correct to do so.
Battling Beasts and Bureaucrats: Naomi Wolf and the American Medical-Government Police State
Naomi Wolf was, until the covid era, “a well-known feminist nonfiction writer for thirty-five years . . . privileged to be part of the cultural ‘scene’ made up of influencers on the progressive Left.” With great courage, she rejected the masks, lockdowns, and vaccines urged upon us by the state, viewing them as totalitarian impositions upon us. Her heroic stance turned her into a “nonperson”: her friends and associates on the left shunned her.
Pulpit Polity – Prayers and the Governing of Our Nation
This week, let’s look at the role that prayer played in the founding of our nation and is still a part of our civil ceremonies, but I might add, forbidden in our public schools.
A Coward and a Braggart Leads America
Mr. Biden is a braggart and a coward. He brags about negotiating a ceasefire in the war in the Middle East. He did no such thing. Nobody talked seriously with him. He says it only took him 11 days to stop the fighting between Israel and Hamas. That they stopped fighting does not imply it was the result of his efforts.

Countering the Woke Offensive
Did someone recently flip a switch? It seems as though Wokeism, the Great Reset, ESG, DEI, and an assortment of other radical left-wing positions have just taken over. It is in the movies, media, sports, finance, retail businesses, and even in the beer industry.
The Dangers of a “Cashless” Economy
Before delving into the dangers of eliminating cash and mandating that all transactions be conducted by digital means, let us briefly discuss the legal aspects of money. In the United States, as in all economies that have legal tender laws, only cash is recognized as money. Some may think that the balance of their bank … Read more
Can Electricity Providers Promise 100 Percent Green Energy? Probably Not.
We expect the lights to come on when we flip a switch, unconcerned with how the electricity is produced or how it reaches our homes. We are aware of telephone poles, wires overhead, and transmission towers, solar panels, and windmills across the countryside. But as long as we pay our electric bills, we trust electric utilities to provide our power somehow.
Leave It To The ‘Experts’ To Follow California Off A Cliff
Pennsylvania’s Peter Brothers Trucking delivers goods all across America. Owner Brian Wanner says Pennsylvania bureaucrats now are driving him out of his home state.
Masters of Deceit have Turned from Red to Green

Will Smith Is America’s Masculinity Problem In A Nutshell
It’s almost unbelievable how far Will Smith has fallen in the public eye. In the early 2000s, he was among the top leading men in Hollywood. He personified the adage: “Women wanted him, and men wanted to be him.” But it was all a lie. Twenty years later, his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, openly mocks … Read more

What is the role of the Supreme Court at the state or federal level? The U.S. Supreme Court’s official website says, “First, as the highest court in the land (or state), it is the court of last resort for those looking for justice. Second, due to its power of judicial review, it plays an important role in ensuring that each branch of government recognizes the limits of its own power.”
Pulpit Polity – “That Book, Sir, Is the Rock Upon Which Our Republic Rests.”
This week, I want us to examine the thinking of some of our most important Founding Fathers and Presidents in regard to the place that the Bible has influence in the governing of our nation. The period of the first 150 years of our country’s founding is significant because the foundation was being laid for the building of a nation.
The Inherent Evils of Centrism
The middle, compromising stance of those called “centrists” or “moderates” is very often mistaken for a balanced and reasonable position. Little else is worse than an entire world tricked into what rationally amounts to crime, thinking it is balanced, realistic, and optimal.
American’s Have Different Priorities Than Joe Biden
Mr. Biden speaking from the Oval Office, addressed the nation about the Wars in Israel and Ukraine. He spoke in lofty terms about America’s role in the world, saying in part, “… We’re facing an inflection point in history…” and told us he will spend our money taking on Hamas and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
